A pioneer in design-build and integrated project delivery, Pankow will use Promapp’s BPM tool to standardize and streamline business processes in its three offices (Oakland, San Francisco, and Pasadena), and across jobsite locations.

Promapp enables Pankow to create company-wide accountability in using these processes. “Eighty percent of our company are spread across different regions and jobsites,” explains Margarett Buschkamp, Senior Enterprise Business Process Manager at Pankow. “As a result, we need a BPM platform that provides a comprehensive view of processes by role, enabling us to fully integrate our different departments around common processes, while simultaneously ensuring that everyone in the organization knows their value and expected contribution. Promapp’s BPM software does exactly that.”

Pankow reviewed several different BPM tools before deciding on Promapp. “Other companies offered interactive manuals, but lacked visual organization,” says Buschkamp. “Pankow’s culture embraces a lean philosophy and prides itself on fostering a supportive and engaged team environment. Promapp readily adapts our processes to a new generation of employees who expect to be able to access information quickly, easily, and intuitively.”

Promapp’s software, which Pankow expects to be in use by early February 2018, will prove to be particularly helpful as the company continues its expansion. Pankow currently has 250 employees, but expects that number to grow to more than 300 in the next six months as it begins a number of new projects throughout California.

“Promapp aligns with our company vision to see the possibilities, engage the power in people, and deliver value in everything we do," Buschkamp concludes.

Promapp was recently recognized as one of five Hot Vendors in Business Process Management 2017 in a report prepared by Aragon Research. The report, which highlights providers with interesting, cutting-edge products, services, and technology, notes, “Promapp’s secret sauce is its ability to be easy enough for beginners and business teams to be successful pretty quickly. The collaborative nature is a key feature, along with the ability to manage change and process variants.”
